Ugh. I slept so much last night and today. By Friday night I was just all stressed out and drained. Last week was kind of a roller coaster of hopeful excitement along with episodes of wanting to hit and kick things. It was a kiddie roller coaster I guess, but an up and down ride nonetheless. I think I slept whopping ten hours last night, got up around 11:30 this morning and eventually got out and ran a few errands, then came home and slept more. Slept deeply too. What the hell? This can't be good.
Here's a dumb thing with me lately. The other day I was driving down the road near here, in the middle of three lanes, and stopped at a stoplight. I looked over at the roadside to my left, to the side of the 'fast lane' and saw what looked like some of the little 'bendies' used to make Leisure Town laying beside the road. I was too yellow to open my door and run over to investigate. I drove down the road again last night but couldn't stop for them. Then today I went to the library to return some stuff, and lo and behold the library is right next to this intersection. I walked over and stood by the road for a few minutes, to see if there would be an advantageous break in traffic where I could lumber across the road to grab these little items, whatever they were. It never happened and I felt stupid standing there, so I gave up. I decided that they were probably just Homies or something anyway. OK, so, a pointless story of failure. Maybe I'll return to the scene later on tonight, or tomorrow.
Persepolis was really good and is recommended, by the way. Man I wish I had more time to read books. The art kind of reminded me of David. B, only maybe less dynamic; more 'flat' somehow... but very appropriate to the story. I guess the main thing I got out of the book was the feeling of how lousy it would be to live in some authoritarian state, run by religious fundamentalists. I felt very lucky to live in a country with decent separation between church and state, and I thought again about how much it aggravates me when people want to grant the police excessive and outrageous powers in the name of something like a war on drugs.
Next weekend I am getting together with a bunch of people I know from college. These are all folks that I really like, and being around them usually makes me feel good and sort of pumps up my esteem and sense of resolve, and motivation level. I usually only see them once every year or two though. A lot of them have had kids recently, and this will be the first time that we've gotten together when a fair number of kids will be involved. Sort of curious to see what that will be like, but mainly just looking forward to hanging out with my friends. It's always fun.
I have been spending money like crazy lately, like some dam broke somewhere in my resolve. Oh well. It was Free Comic Book Day today, if you didn't know. I stopped by Steve's Comic Relief and got a Jetcat's Clubhouse, Hammer of the Gods and a reprint of a Disney comic with some good Carl Barks stuff. Man I do love and admire Carl Barks. I wanted a Peanutbutter & Jeremy but they hadn't ordered any. I considered grabbing a Colonia too but I didn't want to be too greedy, I think I was kind of pushing it by taking 3 titles.
I have a feeling that I am going to have to work some tomorrow. I am going to try not to be too big a grouch about it. I would sooner just be lazy though, to tell you the truth.
